Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Historic Building Information Modeling of the Caudill House in College Station, Texas. Poster presented at the 2021 22nd Annual Historic Preservation Symposium, February 13, 2021

Abstract

The Caudill House is a Mid-century Modern residence in College Station, Texas. William (Bill) Caudill (1914-1983) designed the residence while working as a founding partner of the architectural firm, Caudill, Rowlett, and Scott (CRS). In order to facilitate renovation planning of the Caudill House, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and historic building information modeling (HBIM) were conducted at the Mid-century Modern residence in College Station, Texas. Both the residence’s interior and exterior were laser scanned for the production of an HBIM. This model serves as a 3D as-built to better plan renovation on the historic residence. TLS survey of the home reinforced issues in documenting modern buildings, as well as their solutions both in terms of preparation and execution.
